Humanity & Inclusion (the new name of Handicap International) is a 38-year-old independent and impartial organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster.

Humanity & Inclusion works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. With regards to education, HI opens doors to schools for children and young people with disabilities through the promotion of inclusive education. Its work focuses particularly on children with disabilities—the most vulnerable and excluded young learners in the world, in low-income countries and in development and emergency contexts. HI aims to strengthen the enrollment of children and young adults with disabilities in school, as part of an inclusive approach.

Humanity & Inclusion aims to

• Increase the number of children with disabilities enrolled in mainstream schools or receiving home or community based schooling, who continue their education and successfully complete their schooling
• Improve their integration with other children and participation in social activities as part of their education
• Increase the number of teachers trained in inclusive education and strengthen their skills to meet the learning needs of children with disabilities
• Improve the mainstreaming of disability in national level education policies
